Proverbs 28:22

Proverbs 28:22

_ _ Here again Solomon shows the sin and folly of those that will be rich; they are resolved that they will be so, per fas, per nefas  right or wrong; they will be so with all speed; they are getting hastily an estate. 1. They have no comfort in it: They have an evil eye, that is, they are always grieving at those that have more than they, and always grudging their necessary expenses, because they think the former keep them from seeming rich, the latter from being so, and between both they must needs be perpetually uneasy. 2. They have no assurance of the continuance of it, and yet take no thought to provide against the loss of it: Poverty shall come upon them, and the riches which they made wings for, that they might fly to them, will make themselves wings to fly from them; but they are secure and improvident, and do not consider this, that while they are making haste to be rich they are really making haste to be poor, else they would not trust to uncertain riches.

Proverbs 28:22

Evil eye  Is uncharitable to persons in want, and envious to those who get any thing besides him. Poverty  And consequently that he shall need the pity and help of others.

But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.Genesis 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.Job 20:18-22 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow [it] down: according to [his] substance [shall] the restitution [be], and he shall not rejoice [therein]. ... In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.Job 27:16-17 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; ...
